Happy belated birthday! I never thought much about getting older until my 65th. birthday last October. That one sort of blindsided me. The label “Senior” annoyeth the crap out of me!

I had to laugh the other day when I was in the Salvation Army thrift shop. I was paying for my goods when the clerk pointed to a sign on the desk which stated that all Seniors” over the age of 65 were entitled to a 10 percent discount. Apparently she is not allowed to ASK anyone if they are old … just point. We are such delicate flowers!!! I took the 10 percent discount and ran.

Allen, Happy Birthday in writing. What a great website. I’ve read some of the posts and taken the complete tour. You and Jude have done so much work. The house looks beautiful but more importantly the house looks like home. I’ll look forward to visiting and til then will visit virtually (oops there’s that word again). Tell Jude “hi”. Vootie.
